About

In a city famous for skyscrapers, 5-star hotels and beautiful beaches, look a little closer and you’ll find so much more to celebrate – including a world of incredible, culture-filled food. Our Authentic Dubai Food Tour stops at the city’s main food highlights on the Dubai Creek, travelling through restaurants where communities once came together to socialise and enjoy the very same foods you’ll eat on this tour.

Our Authentic Dubai Food Tour takes place in the heart of old Dubai, where the city’s first communities settled and developed the cuisine we enjoy today.

Duration: 4 hours
Language: English, Mandarin, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, Arabic, French, German, and Spanish
